- How have I experienced oppression or distress in my life, and how can I trust God to deliver me and establish me in a place of safety?
- What are some ways that I can be a part of God's plan to establish His people in a place of peace and security, and how can I pray for and support others who are seeking refuge in Him?
- What does it mean for me to trust in God's promise of a permanent and eternal kingdom, and how can I live in light of that promise in my daily life?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 17:9
The children of wickedness; such as are devoted and wholly given up to wickedness; elsewhere called children of Belial.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 17:9
(9) I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them.—Comp. Exodus 15:17; Psalms 44:2-3. Although Israel had effected a settlement in Canaan, the history seems to show that down to the times of David the tribal boundaries were subject to great fluctuation, and the inroads of surrounding peoples made their tenure very uncertain. Them . . . they . . . their.—Heb., him . . . he . . . his; Israel, the subject, being singular. In their place.—In his own stead, or fixed habitation. (Comp. homestead, farmstead.) Shall be moved.—Shall be troubled, or disturbed.Children of wickedness.—Sons of wickedness, i.e., wicked men; like “sons of Belial” (worthlessness). Waste them.—An Aramaic usage of the verb. Samuel, “afflict them,” which seems original. (Comp. Genesis 15:13.) As at the beginning.—Referring to the bondage in Egypt.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 17:9
Verse 9. Neither shall the children of wickedness] They shall no more be brought into servitude as they were in the time they sojourned in Egypt. This is what is here referred to.

9. Also I will ordain … and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved … as at the beginning] R.V. And I will appoint … that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved … as at the first. waste them] Sam. afflict them.
